Pros: very Beautiful, good layers,
Cons: hens are shy
I had a trio of these guys for a long time, at first they were all a little skittish-- but they soon became friendly. The rooster was the first to calm down, and was quite a character. The hens were still cautious-- of all the chickens I lost to roaming dogs, coyotes, and raccoons...the only thing that was quick enough to take these guys out was a great horned owl! They are good free range birds, and are so exotic looking--everyone would ask me what they were, or even if they were chickens. Very fun, absolutely one of my favorites ;)
